About Me

I am currently a staff scientist in molecular neuroanatomy at the Lieber Institute for Brain Development. I am a developmental neuroscientist, and earned my PhD in Systems and Integrative Neuroscience from Duke University in 2020. I was a postdoctoral fellow under the INSPIRE T32 program in the Stevens lab at the University of Iowa. Broadly, I'm interested in early-life experiences and their ability to increase or decrease risk of later neurodevelopmental disorders.
